Chapter 1394: 1394
"It's some genuine figures that pushed me to add the two training programs in the no . 1 battalion!" Zhang Tie explained it to Xing Xiangtian and the other battalion commanders seriously .
"In the first large-scale air combat between human knights and demon knights, 57% of the air cavalries of Taixia Country were killed by wing demons in the sky after they jumped off their planes . . . "
"However, on the battlefield, 96% of air cavalries fought wing demons between 3,000 m and 7,000 m in the air . During this height range, it would take an air cavalry at least 50 seconds to stay in the air since he ejected out of the cockpit . Most of them would stay in the air for longer than 2 minutes . However, after jumping off their airplanes for 1 minute which was the time of Death God for air cavalries, over 90% of them would be killed by wing demons . During this period, air cavalries would be naked targets of wing demons when they could only wait for death . . . "
"By reducing the period that air cavalries stay in the air after jumping off their airplanes, we could spare less time for wing demons to attack our air cavalries . As our planes could move faster than wing demons, even damaged airplanes which couldn't be normally manipulated would also fall rapidly and be barely caught up by wing demons!"
"Therefore, after planes are damaged by wing demons, as long as air cavalries could jump off their planes properly between 200 m and 400 m, they would have a greater chance to survive after jumping off!"
"I've made a calculation . As long as our cavalries are familiar with low altitude and super low altitude parachuting skills between 200 m and 400 m and limit the period that they stay in the sky to 20 seconds, fewer than 30% of them would be killed by wing demons after jumping off their planes . In order to meet this target and survive more fighters, I felt that it was necessary for us to strengthen fighters' parachute skills in low altitude and super low altitude when in danger . Therefore, I carried out such training programs in my battalion . . . "
Zhang Tie explained it to them calmly .
Xing Xiangtian watched Zhang Tie with a sigh, "It's a nice opinion . However, you're too audacious . If someone wants to find you trouble, they could blame you for suspecting the training pattern of air cavalries in the pilot academies in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and the theater of operations . That would be big trouble and ruin your prospect!"
How could a tiny air cavalry battalion commander find Weiji General trouble and question the absolute authority of air cavalries of Taixia Country? It was a taboo wherever it was . Xing Xiangtian the regimental commander of no . 41 air cavalry regiment was warning Zhang Tie slightly .
"It's said that the teaching material and training guidelines in the pilot academies in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and the Western Theater of Operations was compiled by General Mushen . As the first human air cavalry, his experience and ability in air fight are unquestionable . However, he also has loopholes . Because Zhang Mushen had not been brought down by wing demons in Selnes Theater of Operations, his experience in emergencies is different than that facing most of the fighters . This leads to some loopholes in training guidelines!" Zhang Tie explained as he threw a glance at the others at present . After hearing Zhang Tie's words, all the people at present were shocked by his "audacity" . However, Zhang Tie had not finished his words, "I'm not questioning General Mushen's training ideas, neither am I finding him trouble . As human air cavalry is a wholly new armed service, the relevant training and tactic exploration are a long-term, changing process that constantly adapts to war requirements . It's not gonna be improved in all aspects within a short period by one person . Many problems could only be discovered and solved through combats . We should seek truth from facts . Zhang Mushen is a knight; instead of a deity . Therefore, he would also make mistakes and have loopholes . He alone couldn't fully predict all the changes on the battlefield in the future . He just introduced this armed service for us . We shouldn't entrust all of our hope to him . . . " Zhang Tie added after being hesitant, "If one day Zhang Mushen is dead, would the air cavalries' development be stagnated?"
"It's enough . . . " Xing Xiangtian reproached Zhang Tie loudly while all the other officers in the conference room had changed their face .
The entire conference room instantly deteriorated to embarrassingly and icily silence .
Not until 2 minutes later did Xing Xiangtian recover his composure by taking a deep breath for a few times and say, "As you've already read the notice that was delivered by the headquarters . I believe that the powers of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and the Western Theater of Operations have already paid attention to the problems facing the first combat between us and wing demons and are trying their utmost efforts to solve them . Thankfully, they've already got the solutions . It's a good news . We all should have confidence in the headquarters and our air cavalry training system . Therefore, from today on, those battalions of the no . 46 air cavalry regiment could carry out distinctive training programs according to their own situation . The regimental headquarters would also support you on materials and logistics services . . . " Xing Xiangtian threw a glance at those battalion chiefs as he said, "The training that the no . 1 battalion carried out was a beneficial exploration . Their general orientation is right . However, we'd better not spread the news that the no . 1 battalion has started such similar training programs 1 month ago to the public . As Zhang Tie is a new battalion commander, it's not bad for him to have good thoughts . However, It's not necessary for us to expose it to the public . . . "
Only after being silent for a short while, those battalion commanders had already got the meaning of the regimental commander as they all nodded . The regimental commander was not suppressing Zhang Tie's deed, but protecting it . Although Zhang Tie was talented, he was too impulsive and hard-edged . Given his temperament, if he was exposed to the public, what he said just now could completely ruin his prospect or even kill him in the sky if someone else disliked him . Even a lot of human knights had fought to death in the theater of operations, not to mention a LV 9 battalion commander; especially in the holy war .
Zhang Tie maintained a glassy-eyed look as he revealed a bitter smile inside about Xing Xiangtian's consideration .
"Okay, adjournment . . . "
After glancing at Zhang Tie's face, all the other battalion commanders stood up and exited the conference room .
"Zhang Tie, wait a minute . . . " Xing Xiangtian stopped Zhang Tie as he peered at the later's ordinary face solemnly .
